Despite the uncertainty off the pitch, and their relegation on it, their fans would say they have had plenty of moments to savour this term. If they continue to exist – which is not always a given considering the case of Bury, and the nearly-case of Derby – and bring moments that, both in real time and on reflection, provide happiness, then that is enough. There were a whole lot of performances that were not up to scratch. This year, they ended the season with their best run of form to finish in the highest position they have been all term. Shown this headline before a ball had been kicked, and most fans would have deemed that acceptable, even in spite of raised expectations. When you consider wage and transfer expenditure, which remains the most accurate way of predicting where a side should finish, eighth is par for City, with the big six and Everton above them.
Esmee de Graaf and Paige Bailey-Gayle are the notable names to appear on Leicester City's released list this summer.
De Graaf was one of just six Leicester City players to make 21 appearances for the club in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League this season. Forward Bailey-Gayle made 12 league appearances for The Foxes in 2021/2022 with some her season disrupted through injury. The Foxes have announced the news that five players are leaving The King Power Stadium with De Graaf and Bailey-Gayle being the surprise names to appear on the exit list.
The Foxes have been heavily tipped to make a move for the Swansea City striker this summer.
So, with them having to base their transfer business on sales, you can understand why they're not going to throw £15m or whatever at a player in the Championship they hope might come good. The deal with Leipzig is going to cost £14m. You'd think for a winger that isn't too bad. The size of the squad will be reduced with no European football but it's about how much they can get in. I just don't see it ever getting to a point where they'd be looking at getting a striker, to be honest. You look at him now, and you'd have to say it would be a big shock if he wasn't named in the England squad. But a right-sided winger is the main one at the moment.
Esmee De Graaf, Paige Bailey-Gayle, Sophie Harris, plus loan signings Abbi Grant and Luana Zajmi all leave after helping the Foxes stay up in its first-ever WSL ...
Leicester have confirmed that five players will depart the club following the ...
The defender was a first team regular during the 2021/22 WSL campaign, featuring in 21 of Leicester's 22 league fixtures. Bailey-Gayle is a product of the Arsenal youth system, and joined Leicester in 2019. She departs the club to return to her native Netherlands.
Leicester City are not expected to move for a striker this summer despite reports linking them with Swansea City's Joel Piroe. The Dutch forward joined the…
From what I understand they’ve got three priorities; a centre-back, a box-to-box midfielder and a right-sided winger. Then there’s another two priorities, which are a physical midfielder and Ademola Lookman. “A striker isn’t really the priority.
Leicester City defender Caglar Soyuncu has reportedly been attracting interest from other clubs, with one year remaining on his contract.
“I am happy to play in the Premier League. I want to stay in England as long as I can. The report continued by stating that Leicester are “not in a strong negotiating position” because of the defender’s contract situation, meaning the club may look to cash in rather than risk losing Soyuncu on a free transfer next summer. Soyuncu endured difficult spells during the season as Leicester fell short of the European spots.

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has seemingly made a decision on his future amid transfer rumours concerning his Foxes status.
Understandably. Yet some of the Blue Army, including myself, wouldn’t be too upset to see a fresh ‘keeper with a modern skill set took over. The 2021/22 season is at an end for Leicester, following a return to the roller coaster years of yesteryear. And while some supporters call for him to be replaced by a new goalkeeper with more modern successor.
Ayoze Perez has admitted that he hasn't found this season "easy at all" for Leicester due to his struggles for consistent game time.
He added: “It’s a very good win to finish the season. We’ll have extra coaching time, hopefully we can get in some players who can help us improve and develop again. We wanted to finish as strong as possible to get eighth place, so it’s a great result against a tough opposition. It was a great goal.” The forward has only had 11 starts this season despite appearing 25 times. Perez has spoken on Leicester’s season and how he has the desire for the club to finish higher next season.

Michael Duff’s side would finish 15th in League One with Wright an influential figure throughout. Wright first joined the Robins for the final few months of the 2020/21 campaign. The 22-year-old impressed during his second loan spell with League One rivals Cheltenham Town last season.
